Child/Teen
Amber McKinney-Morgan
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, LICSW
Children and teens often express distress in ways that can be confusing or concerning. I support young people in understanding their emotions, building resilience, and developing healthy coping skills. I also work collaboratively with caregivers to strengthen connection and communication, creating an environment where growth and healing can happen both in and outside of therapy.

Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness
Psychologist, PhD, JD
Not all therapists provide evidence-based therapies, and not all therapists who claim to provide CBT are specially trained in this approach. The Center for Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness team consists of doctoral-level clinicians who are highly trained experts in cognitive behavioral therapies.
We are also trained in tailoring your treatment to your individual needs, so you can be sure you are receiving highly individualized care while also benefiting from the techniques that are proven to work.

Heidi Metcalf
Licensed Professional Counselor, MA, LPCC
Specifically, adolescent girls are a specialty of mine. This is the time when we, as feminine beings, are awakening to our young womanhood. There are many wrong turns that we can take at this age, as we are pulled off course from our own deep knowing and sacredness, into treacherous territory. I seek to reunite young women with their deepest sense of themselves, to build within them a sense of sovereignty that will support them in this life, a feeling of hope for the future of women, and a knowing of their very special belonging in this world.

Stuart Hellebrand, M.S., C.Ht.
Hypnotherapist
I began a 32 year career with Los Angeles County in 1970. During the entirety of my career I worked in residential and community based treatment programs providing treatment services to youth ages 13-18. My responsibilities ranged from having counseling and supervision responsibility for a caseload of twenty-four 15-18 year old minors, to having administrative responsibility for a 130 bed residential treatment program. In between these vastly different areas of responsibility, I served as a consultant to 24 residential treatment programs providing treatment services to roughly 2,100 adolescents. Despite that I have been retired from LA County for 23 years, I still work with 10-18 year old youth on a selective basis.

Online in Las Cruces, NM
Las Cruces is New Mexico's second-largest city and home to New Mexico State University, sitting in the Mesilla Valley near the US-Mexico border, with a population that is roughly 60% Hispanic or Latino and a mental health landscape shaped by border region experience—immigration stress and family separation, the cross-border family ties that define daily life in the borderlands, and the specific challenges of communities living at the intersection of two countries, cultures, and legal systems. NMSU's counseling center serves its student population, and Mesilla Valley Hospital provides inpatient behavioral health services; a private therapy sector serves the professional community. Common therapy concerns include immigration-related stress and family separation trauma, border identity and bicultural experience, student mental health, economic anxiety in a region with significant poverty, and the mental health dimensions of living in a community where the US-Mexico border is a daily reality rather than a political abstraction.
